Honda Recalls CR-Vs for Faulty Control Arms

Honda Motor Co. said it will recall certain CR-V compact SUVs from the 2006 model year to inspect their right front lower control arms and replace them if necessary. The car maker said the recall affects 1,316 vehicles.

Honda said an flawed weld could cause the control arms to break, which could adversely affect handling and increase the risk of a crash. The company said no crashes or injuries related to the problem have been reported.

The recall is expected to begin next month with notification of owners. Owners of these vehicles will be able to determine if their vehicles are affected by checking at www.recalls.honda.com or calling 800-999-1009, option 4.
